CSPro Users Forum

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to make the ID variable sequencial. It has 3 digit and identifies the household. The data entry will be on android.

The problem is this option is deativated on field properties window.

Thanks

ID items cannot be sequential in CSPro however there are some workarounds. This a question that has been discussed before on the forum. Here a some answers:

Searching for "sequential" in the forum will bring up more.

Thanks Josh,

I used this solution with some modifications:

PROC ID

preproc

    if demode() = add then
    
        if visualvalue(ID) = notappl then // this is the first case in the data file
            ID = 1;
        
        else // this is the second, third, etc. case in the data file
            ID = visualvalue(ID) + 1;
        
        endif;
    
    endif;
